I was responding to your how did you put 6x9's in the back but it seems that the post has been nuked ???

 

I think it was becase the trader in question was plugging for free, bummer really as there was some good information in there.

 

Anyway here is my response to your question...

 

 

I had the right tools :D

 

Tools required

Rubber Mallet

Heavy Duty Tin Snips

Jigsaw with Metal cutting Blade

Drill with 3.5mm drill bit

Mig Welder or Rivet gun

 

Material Required

Sheet Metal 2mm thick

 

Instructions

Remove the rear speaker mouldings.

- To do this you will need to remove all the boot mouldings and also the rear seats

Once the speaker/shock moulding is removed you can undo the 6x4 speaker.

With the speaker removed you can undo the speaker bracket.

Use a template from your 6x9's to cut a sheet of metal into the exact template.

Once you have the metal template you will need to sit this on top of the speak bracket you removed from the car and mark the position where the legs should attach.

With the positions marked on both the legs and the bracket, cut the legs away from the stock bracket.

You then need to weld or rivet these onto the new metal template you cut out earlier.

Put your 6x9 speaker in the modified bracket and mark out the area for the holes to attach the speaker.

Drill the holes and put the speaker in place.

You will now need to trim the bracket around the sides,

With the speaker in place use your tin snips or sheet metal cutters to cut the excess metal away from the sides of the speaker (i.e. the 9" side),

This will allow the bracket to fit in the rear moulding.

On the passenger side wheel arch directly under where the speaker sits you will need to use your rubber mallet to create enough room for the speak to sit without contacting the wheel arch itself.

The drivers wheel arch should not need any modification.

Mount the new speakers in their new brackets in place and try the rear moulding for size.

You should not need to make any further adjustments, however if it still does not fit correctly, You may need to bend the legs slightly to align the speaker correctly.

 

I hope this helps :D

 

I will add pictures to this later and post it in the tech section.

Nice one Stu - thanks for the info :bow:

Pics would be a big help too
